NEITHER - Both cars should be driving around the city with a little box on the roof and a person who doesnt know there way around Perth at the steering wheel ( TAXI ) !!!

as said previously straight 6's arent true muscle. If muscle is your desire go for the V8. Your already in a real performance car with the STi so the performance factor shouldnt really sway you.
Also a good point was made about the GTS and the Clubby. You could save some money and do without the 20s, the badge, the MCS(?) (magnetic suspension thing -a- me), but I suspect the reason you want muscle is for its lazy, effortless torque which makes for a nice cruiser? ( of course I am just assuming here) If that is the case why not look at a Senator? They depreciate like a biatch which means you could score a great deal. They are super plush and comfy, same V8 and the boot lip spoiler is uber cool!
As always its your money and your decision, take em all for a drive and see which one fits in with your reason for purchasing in the first place.

As a side note, in my experience with detailing many examples of both FPV and HSV, the Fords seem to fall apart quicker. things like rust coming through in the boot drainage channels, and the same in the engine bay. interior trim coming loose, marking easily etc etc. Also the Ford paint is softer than the Holden and can mar up quicker, but since youre already in a Subaru (with epically soft paint) that shouldnt really matter ;)

Good luck with the decision.

Thanks for all the replies, it is interesting the comments made! SublimeForester has pretty much summed it up. The STi will stay as the true performance car and be used for track days (which it already is) and the muscle car will be the cruiser and long distance hauler. I think the GTS will get the guernsey purely for its more muscle car look and the big V8 under the bonnet. I know the F6 can be a weapon, only need to look at Ramon's car for proof there, but the GTS wouldn't be a car that I throw heaps at. It will probably just get a zorst, tune, intake and lowered and that'll be about it. The performance money will be spent on the STi.

Now the colour... I've always like black, but I think the black HSV's are hard to pick fromt the black SS's. Whereas the red or the white ones do stand out. Have a look at this white Clubsport with GTS black rims... not bad.. not bad at all..

There is one of these in silver at the end of my street for sale. The dude has only had it for probably 6 months max. If you want the number, I will get it for you the next time I drive past the car.

He took the rear wing off it but it is back on now. I think it looked better without it.

every man and his dog have a black and white car!
